Visit to Prophet’s Mosque
Take bath and dress in best one have. You are to present yourself to the man most beloved of God your master, the best human amongst the humanity.
Walk towards the mosque in most humble but in dignified way. Offer some alm, if possible. On reaching the doorsteps of the mosque remove your shoes and enter with right foot first.
Recite the prescribed invocation of entering into a mosque with Darood followed by two units (Rakat) of salutation of mosque (Eitikaf) then walk forwards Raiz-ul-Jannah.
Riaz-ul-Jannah is the space that lies between the Prophet’s tomb and his chair (Mimber). God’s Messenger himself used to say of this spot! “Between my house (now his last resting place) and my mimber lies a garden of paradise. For the faithful to recite a prayer here is tantamount to praying in a corner of Paradise. No wonder, then, that this small space is much sought after by pilgrims, all of whom want to pray there.
Sit down wherever you find the place without any hastle and offer the prayer of salutation of mosque provided it is not the disapproved (Makrooh) time. If a congregation is in progress join it.
Then proceed with utmost respect and humility, eyes gazing down, to the chamber where the Prophet’s tomb lies, reciting Bismillah and Darood. Facing the golden grill with large circular opening with back towards Qibla, offer your Salam, pray for salvation and seek intercession (Shafat) from the Prophet (PBUH) in low voice taking care that you are in front of the most revered personality of the world for which you have been cherishing the whole of your life. Do not try to look here and there. It is an act of disrespect. If there are two many people crowding this spot the visitor can offer his respect and prayer from some distance too Remember that:
“God and His angels shower blessings upon the Prophet: O ye who believe, bless him and solute him” (33:56)
The Pilgrim can convey to the Prophet (PBUH) the greeting of his and all those who have asked him to do so. Be careful that the Prophet knows that who is sending his greetings and Darood and the greetings are replied.
